An AI model must understand the difference between gradable and non-gradable adjectives.
The AI model must also know how to use intensifiers correctly with each type. This ensures the AI model produces grammatically correct and natural-sounding language.
Adjectives describe nouns. Some adjectives are 'gradable.' This means they can be more or less intense. For example, 'tired' is gradable. A person can be 'a little tired' or 'very tired.' Other adjectives are 'non-gradable.' These describe an absolute state. For example, 'exhausted' means completely tired. A person cannot be 'a little exhausted.' Intensifiers like 'very' work with gradable adjectives. Intensifiers like 'absolutely' work with non-gradable adjectives. The AI model must select the correct intensifier for the adjective type.
A writer asks an AI model to describe a character's extreme fatigue. The AI model suggests, 'The character was very exhausted.' This is incorrect. 'Exhausted' is non-gradable. The AI model should have written, 'The character was absolutely exhausted.'

An AI model can analyze many good examples of text. It identifies common patterns in how words are arranged.
The phrase highlighter format is an advanced interaction type. It lets a student select a group of words.
The 'jumbled blocks' format is an advanced way to check language understanding. It uses an interaction state object.
The dependency linker format uses a list of words from a sentence. It identifies a 'source word' by its position.
